The Comics Grid Webinar Series - Live Chats on Comics Scholarship 

Troubling Boundaries, Leaking Forms: Reading Bechdel's Fun Home and Carroll's Through the Woods with Dr Jeanette D'Arcy and Dr Miranda Corcoran

You can now watch the recording of our first Comics Grid Webinar Series entitled "Troubling Boundaries, Leaking Forms: Reading Bechdel's Fun Home and Carroll's Through the Woods with Dr Jeanette D'Arcy and Dr Miranda Corcoran", organised on October 20th. On this inaugural webinar co-hosted by Paula Clemente Vega (Open Library of Humanities) and Dr Ernesto Priego (editor, The Comics Grid; City, University of London), panelists Dr Jeanette D'Arcy (University of South Wales) and Dr Miranda Corcoran (University College Cork) discussed their respective Comics Grid articles on Alison Bechdel's Fun Home (2006) and Emily Carroll’s Through the Woods (2014). 

Thank you so much to everyone who attended our first webinar and a special thanks to our panelists for taking the time to join us to discuss their work. Keep an eye out for more Comics Grid Webinars soon. 

The Comics Grid Webinar Series will offer an online opportunity to chat live with authors about their articles published recently in the journal. Each episode will focus on two articles whose potential thematic and/or methodological interconnections can be explored and contrasted in order to stimulate scholarly discussion, collective learning and further research.
